Technology

Digital X-rays, Intra Oral Cameras, and more – at Peachland Dental Centre, we use technology to identify oral diseases before they become problems.

At Peachland Dental Centre, technology is one of our most valuable tools.

That's why we continually invest in our equipment to make sure that our patient can benefit.

We also invest in our staff to make sure they're up-to-date on how to use the equipment. By investing in the right technology, we're able to immediately look at patient history so that we can make accurate assessments.

Plus, with access to key information at our fingertips, we're able to keep patients up to date on the condition of their teeth, recommended treatments options, advise them on potential developments – and do it all on the fly.

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays are easily stored and retrieved right from our computer system. It is fast and quick, and can help us detect any diseases before they become significant problems.

High Powered Microscopes

Our dental team utilizes high power microscopes. The microscope projects a beam of light straight on the teeth, reducing the glare patient's experience. We also use electric hand-pieces which results in interfaces between your tooth and your new restoration (crown, veneer, or filling).

Intraoral Camera

An intraoral camera is a tiny, high resolution device that fits very comfortably inside your mouth, providing access and detail in even the most hard to reach places. The sharp images are enlarged so that you and our dental team can view them together.

The greatest benefit is that you become an active participant in managing and understanding your oral health. We can make accurate assessments and perform short procedures.

VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System

Detecting oral abnormalities early leads to more treatment options, potentially less invasive or radical treatments and better patient outcomes and the VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System helps us do just that.

With the VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System, we are able to detect issues early and make informed assessments. This device is a handheld scope that enables us to discover abnormalities including:

Viral, fungal and bacterial infections

Inflammation from a variety of causes

Squamous papillomas

Salivary gland tumors

Cancer and pre-cancer

iTero Impression Scanner

iTero creates a comfortable experience. We can use iTero to show our patients the outcome of their Invisalign® treatments. Similar to the VELscope®, the iTero can help patients become more involved in their dental treatment, and help aid in the education of good oral health.
